  • Patent number: 10453887
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a solid-state image sensing device, a manufacturing method, and an electronic apparatus, in which surface roughness on a wiring surface can be suppressed. In redistribution layer forming processing, a Ti/Cu film corresponds to a barrier layer and a seed layer is formed by Ti/Cu sputtering after opening a through-silicon via. At this point, actually, degassing heating, reverse sputtering, Ti deposition, and Seed-Cu deposition are sequentially performed. As a method of depositing a Seed-Cu film having high crystallinity in deposition of the Seed-Cu film, performing deposition by increasing a substrate temperature to a high temperature is one method, and the Seed-Cu film of Cu(111)/(200) is formed by performing deposition at the substrate temperature of 60 degrees or more, and Cu haze are suppressed. The present disclosure can be applied to a CMOS solid-state image sensing device used as an imaging device such as a camera.
